Love Where You Shop, Whole Foods Market

Love Where You Shop
Whole Foods Market at 2800 SW 196th St. SW, Lynnwood  Washington  98036 is one of the seven Whole Foods Grocery Stores in Washington State. The first location opened in 1999 at Roosevelt Square in Seattle (that’s what it says on the wall!).
There is something soothing about shopping here with all of their healthy food choices and unusual products. I walked away with an organic grapefruit juice, some spiced pecans, lunch for tomorrow (smoked sweet potatoes) and some nice smelling soaps. I was impressed that kids where allowed to pick one piece of fruit from the wagon to munch on while their adults shopped. Nice touch.

Tacoma Food Co-Op

The Tacoma Food Co-Op at 3002 6th Avenue, Tacoma opened on August 26, 2011. It has a lovely mural on the outside wall. I walked through the store, which use to be a corner grocery and explored their unusual stock.  Their website says “The member-owners of the Tacoma Food Co-op recognized the need for an affordable urban natural foods grocery that would provide local organic and natural foods, as well as a community around these foods.”

Organic Spice

Today’s new place is the recently (maybe today) opened Organic Herbs & Spice Plus Organic Espresso. Located at Organic Spice Traders, 1127 Broadway Plaza, Suite 101, Tacoma, WA 98402. The owner is a nice guy and makes a very tasty organic Americano! The store features a wide variety of spice and herbs as well as the espresso stand.  There are also some tables to sit and relax.  While I was there I bought a small packet of cinnamon, which I’m sure will be tasty in my morning oatmeal. It is nice to see an interesting new business open up in downtown Tacoma and I wish them well.

Update, my daughter told me that the store is closed now. Makes me sad!

I’ve been meaning to stop at the Garden Sphere for ages and today I finally did! What a lovely welcoming place. As I wandered around one of the workers offered to help me and I mentioned that it was my first time there. She said they change out stock every couple of weeks, so there is usually something new to see and that if I wanted something they didn’t have, they’d get it for me. Wow. That’s nice.

While there I purchased a lavender plant, something with a purple flower, a package of sweet peas and a candle. I’m sure I’ll be back for more.

I think my favorite part was the chicks. There were three sizes of them and they were all darling! I could just sit and listen to their trilling, chirping noise for hours!
